New Jersey, USAEverything's fixed! The load remover should automatically be picked up by LiveSplit now and you can submit PC runs done using this version. Don't submit runs done using any older versions, because they removes different amounts of things and aren't accurate.
Huge thanks to both PlayingLikeAss and Streetbackguy for their work!
I didn't explain myself very well at the time. The problem I ran into is that the framerate and game speed is all over the place, and it effects the controls and on what frames the game actually reads inputs. So you have to work on the TAS in a linear order, if you do the whole game then realize the first level could've been slightly faster, there's really no way to fix that without desyncing the entire rest of the demo. The desync even persists through loading screens and menus, somehow. Just inserting/removing empty frames between levels doesn't save it, the whole physics of the game will be off it seems.
I did TAS this up through Schoolz Out, then realized I didn't do the menu at the start quite right, and that meant scrapping everything. TASing a 3D game like RFS is already annoying enough, this extra annoyance of having to do everything perfect on the first pass made me give up lol. That being said, I am a really inexperienced TASer so there may be a trick to this sort of thing that I just don't know.
Interesting. None of us have got any of that though lol so you're gonna be on your own trying to figure it out. Shouldn't too hard to find the player coordinates on cheatengine, probably
Isn't that just any% but you do the last dungeon twice to fight amon? Why bother
Asked around about it in the community and no one expressed much interest. Seems like a very simplistic minigame to me so I don't care to add it either. That would change if multiple people were doing runs of it of course
Requesting LB mod for Yakuza: Like a Dragon ( https://www.speedrun.com/yakuza7 )
- Game comes out in English on Tuesday
- Leaderboard isn't fully set up (many platforms missing, no box art, rules not fully defined) and is frankly kind of ugly
- Sole moderator has been inactive for 5 months, and doesn't speak English (we can't really contact them).
- I run & moderate many other games in the series and am very active in the community
I understand if you reject my request at this time as I don't have a pending run. Just thought I'd ask so I can get things cleaned up for the game's release, and I plan to be involved in routing & running it then.
Thanks as always.
Requesting mod for Yakuza 5. The current mod has not responded to my messages on here or on src. They logged in to approve a run I tweeted at them about two weeks ago, but haven't logged in since and hadn't logged in for iirc 10 months before that. Also, they approved that run without even watching it and didn't do any leaderboard maintenance while logged in (most importantly adding new platforms, I run on one that isn't listed for the game). It seems they have no plans to be active on the site or in speedrunning (they haven't done a run of anything in 4 years) and I don't feel like pinging someone who has no involvement in the community on twitter and who doesn't maintain the board every time I want a run approved.
FWIW, I mod several other yakuza games and am very involved in the speedrunning community for the series
lmao, perhaps. at the very least something should probably be done about the speedrun.com logo since it's technically against site rules (it's supposed to say SPEEDRUN.COM)
re:point #4, why does it matter if certain lbs look bad? My understanding was that src is hands-off and lets communities do what they want.
Why exactly did it matter if some leaderboards looked like crap? Bad change tbh
Well, what happens in Shangrila seems to imply that it will work fine, the problem is that after the pre-rendered bus cutscene, it tried to put you back on the map you were previously on s othat it can do in-engine dialogue. Since we didn't enter Shangrila through the door, it still thinks we're on the overworld, and puts us in the correct spot (Shangrila's interior is in the center of the map once loaded in) but with the wrong map loaded in. That's not an issue with rigid script execution order as much as it is other things.
A few days ago I was poking around in the scripts themselves and unfortunately the only one that isn't compiled bytecode somehow is about the overall flow of the game, sort of like a directory of what order every event happens in. It points to the location of each actual script but I can't read those, so it doesn't help.
Are you aware of any other spots? Anything accessible pre-chapter 7 has got potential.
Hey, idk if any of this sort of thing has been discovered yet in the game but I've been playing around with some glitches recently. Here's a video about it.
Not sure why I felt compelled to talk about it when I haven't found an application in the speedrun yet, but I'm learning something new about this stuff every day so hopefully it will become relevant soon.
I've been meaning to record one for a long time actually. I'll get around to it in the next couple days.
Requesting Palm OS / Palm PDAs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_OS me and some people recently started running a Palm game and have it under 'Android' because that's what the emulator is on. https://www.speedrun.com/sspos
